“This was the first time we've ever left our three cats in the care of a pet sitter. We were very nervous. Mikayla showed up twice a day to feed them and clean up after them - just as we agreed upon. She also was nice enough to leave food for the two feral cats that live in our carport. She did great with our alarm system, too. I would definitely book with her again.”
“Beth was wonderful tending to the two very different needs of our two cats - one very shy that needed lots of space, and one very active teenager that needed lots of attention. She left our house in immaculate condition. Highly recommend and would love to have her stay with our cats again in the future!”
About: I love dogs and am very passionate about care and safety of the animals I care for. I have gotten two of my own dogs through obedience training and canine good citizen testing. I also have experience, 13 years, living with dogs actively training and competing in IPO. Easy or difficult dogs areno problem. I can take direction and care and interact with your dog exactly as you'd like. I can give potty breaks during the day and am available to stay overnight in your home with your animals. I am also available on weekends and can give potty breaks more often if needed. I vary my care depending on what the client wants but id prefer a dog on my lap watching a movie. Well exercised and fed!
“Brenna was a wonderful pet sitter to our dog, Rocky over the weekend! She kept me up to date on how he was doing and sent me plenty of pictures and videos of him having a wonderful time! I knew Rocky was safe and being taken care of while in Brenna's care and I truly I appreciate that. Thanks again!!!”
“What a great experience we had with Toni! I got lots of pictures and updates from her, and made me feel so much at ease. It was my first time leaving our dogs with someone other than a family member. We instantly booked her again for a check-in in a few weeks! Highly recommend Toni!!!!”
“Katie watched our cat and did some house sitting for several days, and she did an amazing job! She sent picture updates that gave me so much peace of mind, and he was clearly happy, playful, and well cared for. She followed all his routines, kept everything tidy, and was great at communicating. I’d definitely recommend her and would happily book with her again!! 10/10!”
About: Hello, I have been taking care of a wide range of animals since I was 15. I’ve had 5 ferrets, guinea pigs, cats and dogs my whole life. I have a Staffordshire terrier, an American bully, and a black lab/ leopard catahoula mix. I am used to having a heavy dog on the opposite end of the leash and I am well experienced in animal body language to keep your baby and myself safe. I am an independent contractor who does Rover, Spark, DoorDash and a couple other side gigs. I have worked a 9-5 and it was incredibly difficult following a schedule someone else made for me while trying to manage my kids school and sports schedule's. Since becoming an independent contractor I have gained great relationships with residents of Culpeper and Rappahannock county and more time with my kids. These side gigs help provide me a way to bring in income, socalize, work easily with my kids school and sport schedules and give me the flexibility to rest when my autoimmune disease flares up. I will make sure any and all instructions are followed correctly to ensure adequate and safe service. Plus a few head rubs before I left.
About: I’ve taken care of dogs of every kind — from playful puppies to gentle seniors, and everything in between. I am the go to dog sitter for all my family and friends! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I’m home most of the time and able to give pets plenty of attention, care, and supervision throughout the day. I treat every pet like part of the family! I make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while in my care. I provide dependable care and regular updates!
About: I've taken care of dogs, cats and horses since I was 15. I have had pets my whole life. I have owned various breeds of dogs and cats. I have pet sat for all kinds of dogs, cats and horses and look forward to caring for your animals! I've had experience caring for various aged animals and am comfortable with all kinds. I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate early mornings, afternoons and evenings throughout the week. I look forward to working with you and meeting your pets! I am willing to accommodate your family's needs in your home. I consider pets family, and will care for them as you would to make them feel the most comfortable while you are away.
About: I’ve taken care of pets for over 10 years, including my own bichon mix Bentley! I enjoy interacting with lots of different pets and have dog sat for multiple neighbors and friends. I am trustworthy, dependable, and pride myself on clear communication. I cannot wait to meet your pet! I work a corporate 9-5 job, and I have a lunch break where I can walk or visit pets (as well as before and after work)! I work from home on Fridays and have flexible weekends, so I am happy to prioritize the needs of your pet! I am very flexible and able to adjust my schedule and environment to cater to your needs.

About: Welcome! With 15+ years of experience and a genuine love for dogs, I provide a calm, safe, home-away-from-home experience for your pup. I work from home, so when your dog stays with me, they’re never left alone—they have companionship, supervision, and care 24/7. I also only accept one family’s pets at a time, so your dog receives my full attention without the stress of a crowded environment. My fully fenced one-acre yard offers plenty of space to run, play, and explore safely, while inside they’re treated like part of the family. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind knowing your pet is safe, loved, and cared for as if they were my own. I look forward to welcoming you and your furry family member! Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I work from home full-time, which allows me to be fully present and attentive throughout the day. My dogs are part of my life, not just my schedule — and the same goes for any pet I care for. I build my day around walks, enrichment activities, playtime, and quiet moments, making sure each dog gets the stimulation and comfort they need. Rover isn't just a side gig for me — it’s something I genuinely care about. I love being able to share my time and home with other pets, giving them the same level of love and attention I give to my own. In my home, your pet will be treated like one of the family. I have a fully fenced one-acre yard for safe, supervised outdoor play, and two small, friendly dogs to provide companionship if your pup enjoys socializing. I ensure 24/7 access to fresh drinking water, regular bathroom breaks, and a calm, cozy indoor environment where your dog can relax freely — crated only if you prefer. I follow your care instructions closely, including administering any medications as prescribed. Whether it’s maintaining their feeding schedule, providing playtime, or offering extra snuggles, I make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and loved — just like they would at home.
About: I believe you treat all animals like if they are your pet. I’m known to overly spoil my animals with love, funny voices, and care. I will keep you updated with pictures and videos and your pets are in exceptional care. I have an open schedule to cover their needs and care while I’m on duty and they become my family for the time they are with me. I’ve been taking care of cats and dogs for over 15 years typically small and medium sized dogs. I do have experience with some larger breeds on basic essential needs and care. I went through a battle of IVDD with my French Bulldog who passed which took a role on how I view the time with animals in general. I have an open schedule and extremely accommodating to your needs. I can work around the necessary schedule. I work this full time and if I don’t have any sitting I also run deliveries. I have a safe and trusted environment. I have one dog who gets along with other dogs but he is hyper and wants to play and nap consistently. I have a cat who does her own thing so my house is relaxed. No little kids and just me and my partner which she works from home so there’s always someone at home.
“Ananda did an amazing job with my little pack! Including my blind, senior girl who needs extra TLC. I never worried about them, as she would check in and send pictures—-which was great as I was out of the country. We will definitely have Ananda visit again on my next trip away from my furkids!”
“Melissa was great and Rocky loved her! This was my first time using Rover and I was nervous but Melissa eased my mind. Not being used to “strangers” staying with him, Rocky had some separation anxiety. Melissa was very straightforward about it and kept me updated the whole time. I made some suggestions and she tried them all. I would love to have Melissa stay with Rocky again if she’s interested.”
“Deborah is fantastic! She is very communicative, trustworthy, loves our fur babies as if they were her own, and genuinely cares for our home. We appreciate Deborah taking care of our two boys and will be repeat customers!!”
About: I have been a pet owner since the age of 10 and I currently work at an animal hospital. I love all types of animals and have worked with all sizes, ages, and temperaments. I am open to discussing any scheduling needs and working my schedule around your needs. The animals are my top priority and will always come first. I treat other people's homes as if they are my own in terms of respect and cleanliness. I will care for your pets and watch over them as if they were my own children.

Beyond belly rubs and feeding schedules, a house sitter’s presence may provide an additional layer of security for your home. However, you will need to arrange overnight stays and other household tasks with your sitter when reaching out to them. Not all sitters offer the same services. Common household tasks you can negotiate include:
- Mail & deliveries: Collecting letters and packages so they don't pile up.
- Plant care: Keeping your indoor or outdoor garden hydrated.
- Trash & recycling: Taking trash cans to the curb on scheduled pickup days.
- Home security: Sitters can stay overnight to keep your home occupied.
The best way to align on expectations is during your free Meet & Greet. Use this time to provide a "home cheat sheet" that includes your preferred Rhoadesville walking routes, the location of your favorite pet store, and any specific quirks about your home’s security or appliances.
It’s helpful to think of house sitting as a "home base" service. Most sitters in Rhoadesville maintain their normal daily routines, like running errands or heading to the office, meaning your pet should be comfortable being alone for a few hours at a time. If your pet needs a little extra company, here is how to find the perfect match:
- Look for "WFH" sitters: Many sitters mention "Work from Home" on their profile to indicate they’ll be present for the majority of the day.
- Update your pet’s profile: Write down how long your pet can comfortably be left alone. This helps sitters quickly determine if their schedule aligns with your needs.
- Communicate 24/7 needs: Standard house sitting usually doesn't include constant supervision. If your pet requires round-the-clock care, be sure to discuss this upfront.
Tip: Use the Meet & Greet to confirm a sitter's typical "away" windows. Transparency ensures your pet stays happy and your sitter can plan their day effectively!
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Rhoadesville choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your pet to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your pet is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
